Consider the given two statements:
Statement I: Troponin and tropomyosin are regulatory proteins attached to actin filaments.
Statement II: Troponin has binding sites for Ca²⁺ ions, which when occupied expose the active sites on myosin
1. Both I and II are correct
2. Both I and II are incorrect
3. I correct, II incorrect
4. I incorrect, II correct
